That looks like the differential fluid...

For most cars, the fluid can be changed around 90k miles. I dont know about the IS250 specifically..

I would say at Minimum every 15k or Maximum 30k..

At 15k I plan on draining & refilling myself with Royal Purple synthetic..
After that.. it will be every 30K for me..
So 15k, 45k, 75k .. etc, etc...

Even if the manaul says good till 100K.. I'll be sticking to my plan..
